@theenglishwitc1 @GGreengage £0-14bn for the more solvent water corps (3-4 of them) (The price after a realistic audit of their books which should include their full pollution and debt liabilities) For Thames water and the rest - minus their pollution cost liabilities and debt - £0. Voila.

This shouldn’t be controversial: water should be publicly owned. I’ve spent years fighting for that in Parliament. Now thanks to the support of tens of thousands of you, we’re gaining ground. Profiteers have their billions. We have each other. Join us: actionnetwork.org/forms/we-can-d…

@mac123_m @TheGreenParty We don’t want them to. We want public ownership.

@labourlewis Join @TheGreenParty Take real action. Starmers Labour will never nationalise water 💧

@pompeyawayman Not when he’s supporting these blood suckers, no.

@labourlewis Ever thought of supporting the government and Keir Starmer?

@chesterwriter Haircut time.

@labourlewis So taxpayer gets burdened with the estimated £60 billion of accumulated debt private water companies have on their books? 🤔

@labourlewis @GGreengage Can you tell us how you would fund buying the water companies, and then how you would fund repairs, upgrades, maintenance, and new reservoirs…

Thank you @labourlewis for speaking out about the fresh danger to #pubs in proposed changes to the #NPPF. We need MPs of all parties to follow suit and call for greater protection for the #pubculture that is such a cornerstone of their constituents' #communities @CommonsHCLG

🤔Could it be? Reform quietly shelving a vote-winning policy the moment former Tory Robert Jenrick becomes Treasurer? The party that cosplays as “for the people” is bankrolled by & takes their orders from the same kind of profiteers who’ve run our water system into the ground.

I wrote to the Minister for Housing and Planning to raise my concerns about plans that would weaken protections for pubs. We need a planning system that safeguards all our pubs.

Horrifying to hear of another antisemitic attack on ambulances in Golders Green last night We are being dangerously divided against one another like no time I can remember. Saturday there’ll be a huge march against hate, for the country we need where we stand TOGETHER #r4today

Great to join the makers of Channel 4’s ‘Dirty Business’ and everyone behind the Sewage Campaign Network, including @labourlewis and @Feargal_Sharkey . Privatised water is a clear danger to our health. Anything less than a publicly-owned water system that puts people and the environment before profit simply isn’t fit for purpose. #RenationaliseWater

We were there! Really worth re-sharing. Thanks @labourlewis

Great news for our community. I am pleased that the application to close Cotman House Dental Surgery and convert the building into flats has been rejected. The surgery supports about 1,500 patients and provides an important service for many older and vulnerable residents. I set out my concerns to the planning team before the meeting, along with many constituents and patients who spoke up to protect this local practice. Your voices made a difference. Access to NHS dentistry is already limited. Losing a specialist practice of this size would have caused real harm. The decision shows the impact that organised local action can have. Thank you to everyone who submitted objections, took part in the process, or attended the meeting.

What a fantastic event... 107 MPs coming to hear about the Dirty Business that is the water industry. Time to end the corruption, time to end the greed, time for a new approach, time for public ownership.

I held an event in Parliament with Anna Dixon MP and the Sewage Campaign Network on the Water White Paper, the sewage scandal and Channel 4’s recent docudrama ‘Dirty Business’. Campaigners travelled from across the country to share their experiences and brief MPs on the causes of the water crisis, the Water White Paper and what is needed to secure the future of our water services. Over 100 MPs attended – a massive turnout reflecting the years of hard work by tireless activists to draw attention to this issue. It was a pleasure to see so many colleagues attend and hear the case for a better, people-led, profit-free system. @saveourswale @WindrushWasp @CleanIlkley @MattStaniek @sascampaigns @GMBLondonRegion @c4news @annalouisedixon

Wow. On Tuesday 107 MPs met frontline sewage campaigners, including those featured in Channel 4’s 'Dirty Business', to hear directly about their experience and what needs to change. Campaigners, including prominent figures like @Feargal_Sharkey, had one clear message: it’s time for public ownership.
